“The world is so big, there are so many surprises!”
Zuo Xiaoduo was surprised.
It really broadened my horizons!
First, I saw a centipede that was several hundred meters long, but it was a demon king, so it was reasonable for it to be huge. But now I saw an earthworm that was more than 30 meters long!
How dare an earthworm to be more than thirty meters long
"It doesn't matter how big the earthworm is."
Xiaolong said: "This thing doesn't have much combat power. As long as I use the Yanyang Sutra to burn it, I can burn it to death!"
Xiaolong looked disgusted and disdainful.
There is such a disgusting thing in the world. I was wondering how it could swim so comfortably down there. It turns out it was eating and defecating at the same time.
It swallowed all the dirt in front of it, and then continued to excrete it from its tail as it crawled...
vomit!
It's so disgusting!
This big earthworm has been winding all the way here. It has a huge body, but when it comes to fighting power, it is really nothing to look at. It has a big body but is just bloated.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't expect that he would burn this guy's head off immediately after he fired a ball of Yanyang True Fire...
The entire body then automatically broke into seventy or eighty sections, and fled frantically in seventy or eighty different directions, fleeing for its life...
With a loud splash, the entire underground was filled with puddles of water!
This is... a brain burn? !
Zuo Xiaoduo was stunned.
“Is this... a ferocious beast that guards the treasures of heaven and earth?!” Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head to look at Xiaolong, only to see that Xiaolong was also bewildered.
Obviously, he didn't expect that this guy would be so weak!
Even if you are an earthworm, you are still an earthworm of several dozen meters!
As for the idea that it will disappear after just a touch? What does that mean
"What is this?" Zuo Xiaoduo picked up a shiny round stone from the ground.
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly had an idea: "Is this the inner elixir?"
"no."
Xiaolong came over to take a look, but couldn't recognize it. He said, "I've never seen this thing before. The energy on it is very strange. But if my guess is correct, it should be this thing that caused the abnormal growth of the earthworm. But it seems to have only grown in size, not in strength... It seems to be useless..."
Zuo Xiaoduo also felt that there was a strange energy hidden in this bead.
But now is not the time to study this, so just put it into the space ring and ask Wen Xingtian or Grandma Shi when you go back.
Then continue digging all the way down.
Since the earthworm came back in a hurry, it proves that the Soul-Quenching Vermilion Fruit is about to arrive.
Sure enough, after digging only about ten meters, they found something that looked pitch black.
It seemed to be a fruit growing in the soil, but the fruit seemed to be surrounded by a layer of black smoke-like substance, isolating it from the soil.
After rubbing it gently, it seemed as if there were stars twinkling in the dark night. Even though it was underground, this kind of brightness was eye-catching.
"It's really good stuff." Zuo Xiaoduo exclaimed.
Looking closely, you'll find that the fruit is connected to a branch that looks like flowing star rays.
Zuo Xiaoduo directly opened a huge hole, isolated the entire Soul-Quenching Red Fruit, and then peeled the soil down bit by bit.
After a long while, everyone finally left.
There is a tree with nine branches. On each branch there is a fruit, nine in total.
However, the trunk of this Soul-Quenching Vermilion Fruit appears to be very thick, almost as thick as Zuo Xiaoduo's calf. It is unknown how many years it is.
"It seems that this Soul Tempering Fruit Tree has borne fruit several times."
Xiaolong was also surprised: "But there is plenty of energy here, so it's not too unusual to be able to produce multiple results."
"And when the fruit is ripe, if it is not eaten, it will fall to the roots of the tree and turn into nutrients. Not a single bit will be wasted. Also, I think the earthworm is so huge that it must have eaten it once."
Xiaolong frowned and said, "He must have eaten it once, otherwise, how could he have the ability to split into seventy or eighty pieces and escape? This life-saving method is quite amazing..."
Zuo Xiaoduo asked curiously, "Well, isn't the ability to split the hand an innate instinct of the earthworm? Is it related to this fruit? Does this fruit have any other uses besides restoring the soul?"
Xiaolong said: "Earthworms' natural instincts can't be split so many times. And the Soul-Quenching Vermillion Fruit, used to heal injuries, is just one of its functions. If a completely healthy person eats it, in addition to strengthening the soul, it also has the ability to split the soul... that is, to decompose one's soul into several completely independent individuals..."
Zuo Xiaoduo was confused when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
"Let's put it that way."
Xiaolong thought for a long time before giving an example: "For example, if you go out this time, there will be great danger. But since you have eaten this Soul Tempering Vermillion Fruit before, you can prepare in advance. Endure a certain amount of pain and split out a completely identical soul in advance..."
"Once we are in a safe place... If both the original body and the split body are fine, they can be reunited. But if the original body is beaten to death outside, then the separated soul can choose a carrier and continue to live, and its own memories will not be lost. Of course, only memories, experiences and knowledge can be retained, and cultivation cannot be saved, so we need to start over..."
"I see."
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded in sudden realization.
"What you are talking about is called possession of another's body here." Zuo Xiaoduo said very knowledgeably.
"No, no."
Xiaolong said seriously, "The split soul state of the Soul Tempering Vermillion Fruit is fundamentally different from the possession state. Because if a person's body is not completely dead, his soul and body are closely dependent and inseparable. At this time, if you force your way into the body, you will only be devoured. How can you possess the body when the soul is one? So you can only wait until the target dies, that is, the soul is completely dissipated, and then another person can take over the body."
"If there is even a little bit of residue left, it will not be successful, so this method will also have great risks."
Xiaolong said: "But just the fact that it can provide people with a chance to start over... is of great value."
"Some people call this fruit the fruit of reincarnation, and believe that it can only grow in another world, but it is not true. Because there is no need for reincarnation..."
I have to say that when it comes to these rare treasures, Xiaolong is very knowledgeable. In this regard, even Li Chenglong is inferior to him.
Perhaps it is because, as a form of consciousness, it wanders back and forth in these places every day and is naturally very familiar with them.
It’s just that it’s called differently from what humans do, but he has his own absolutely correct understanding.
But Zuo Xiaoduo was not worried about this. The more he heard about the good things this thing had, the more reluctant he felt to give it up.
"We have picked the fruits, but it would be a shame to leave the tree here, wouldn't it? It would be a waste of natural resources!"
Zuo Xiaoduo looked at Xiaolong eagerly: "In the Sky-Destroying Tower, in our space, can we nurture this tree?"
Xiao Long thought for a moment and said, "With the current progress of the Void Destruction Tower, it can only barely keep alive. Burying it in the new dragon vein inside us can ensure its survival. But if we want it to continue to grow, or even bear fruit in the future, we have to move at least ten more earth veins into it. Also, we need a lot more of that powder you made, three to five hundred times more than now... before it can grow."
Zuo Xiaoduo was relieved: "As long as it can survive, there is a way, then I will completely transplant this fruit tree there. Star Soul Jade Powder is not valuable. Over time, let alone three or five hundred times, three or five thousand times is no problem."
Xiaolong nodded: "Since the boss is sure, then let's do as we please."
What Zuo Xiaoduo didn't see was that the corners of Xiaolong's mouth were slightly raised, which was a very secret expression of happiness.
Boss, the more genius treasures you move in, the better the quality of the land vein we gather will be. The better the land vein is, the faster I will grow... Hehehe...
It was a great experience.
Xiaolong feels great!
Not everyone can follow such a stingy, mean, greedy boss!
But if it is your own family that is greedy, it is also a good thing to be greedy for others, and take everything into your own home, why is it not good? !
For example, if this fruit tree followed a gentleman, it might stay here because "nothing should be exhausted" and "it will be left for the right person" or something like that.
Look, it’s so much easier to follow Boss Zuo, just pull it out by the roots!
This is the style of a miser like me!
He watched Zuo Xiaoduo carefully collect the nine fruits, put the fruits in nine boxes carved from Star Soul Jade, then directly pulled up the fruit tree along with a large ball of soil weighing several thousand pounds, put the whole thing into the space of the Void Destroying Tower, dug a hole in the ground, and buried the Soul Tempering Fruit Tree in it neatly.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, extremely smooth, without any obstruction at all.
And they do it with great joy.
While working, he asked humbly, "Longlong, is there anything taboo that cannot be planted in our land?"
Xiaolong thought for a moment and said, "In theory, anything can be planted. We just need to separate the natural materials and treasures that completely repel each other by a sufficient distance."
"That's good, that's good."
When Zuo Xiaoduo heard this, he became even more excited.
"Boss, this side seems to have an advantage in terms of terrain. Both sides are gentle slopes, so there are a lot of meteors falling here. Many of the meteors that fall on the slope also roll down here, so the energy is very abundant... This is also the main reason why the Soul Tempering Fruit can grow here."
Xiaolong said: "So, there must be a lot of good stuff among these meteorites..."
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes lit up and he said, "I've thought of this a long time ago."
So starting from the bottom, every time you find a piece, you put it into the space ring, or directly put it into the Void Annihilation Tower. Anyway, the space is large enough, and you can hollow out the place quickly.
And more than a hundred meters below the Soul Tempering Fruit, a meteorite several square meters in size was placed in the Sky Destroying Tower by Zuo Xiaoduo...
boom!
Not surprisingly, a collapse occurred!
Starting directly from the ground surface, a bottomless pit collapsed!
In an instant, the mountains on both sides began to squeeze towards this side, slowly forming a landslide, and finally filling it up with a loud bang.
Zuo Xiaoduo thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly dug his way out from underground.
Damn it, I was just digging a few stones, but it caused a landslide for me.
Te didn't even think about it. The valley was originally very small, and he had dug out tens of thousands of large rocks from the bottom. It would be strange if the valley didn't collapse.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo retreated in a flash.
And in a hidden corner not far from here...
The Four Swordsmen of the Kingly Dao had scars all over their bodies, and the skin and flesh in many places were completely unrecoverable. The centipede poison spread throughout their bodies and began to turn into pus, so those parts had to be cut off.
Each of the four men cut his body into pieces, and only then did he save his life. Although he was barely alive, given their profound Gui Xuan cultivation, as long as they caught their breath, they would naturally recover quickly.
After they broke away from the battle group, they found a hidden valley. Coincidentally, there was more than enough energy there, so they rushed down in a hurry.
Just like Zuo Xiaoduo, a huge hole was dug out in a few hits, and four people hid inside to heal their wounds.
But they didn't dig very deep, only about ten meters at most.
For these old hands, these are the most normal and common operations, and you can't tell at all from the outside.
But just as the four of them took out the wound medicine, antidote, etc. and took them, especially when the various spiritual fluids began to wash over their bodies, the medicine and the poison were fighting against each other, and they were in excruciating pain...
With a sudden crash, the mountains on both sides collapsed.
The four people were in a critical moment and could not move at all. They were buried alive. The cave collapsed instantly, and countless huge rocks rumbled down like mountain drums...
The four people were confused and dizzy as they went down. When they reached a considerable depth... suddenly there seemed to be nothing below!
I fell down as if I was completely weightless!
"There's such a big hole underneath..."
The four veterans were all in a daze, falling straight down, and then there were another loud bang, and they were all knocked unconscious.
If they were still in their prime, they could certainly fly out despite the landslide.
But unfortunately, not only are they not in full condition, but they are also at the critical juncture of healing. Their true energy is fighting against the poison and cannot be used. This is almost the lowest point in their life...
As a result, the four super masters of Guixuan level were all smashed by the rocks, with their noses, faces, and heads bleeding!
And the worst thing is... the toxins that the four people are forcing out, in this situation, if they are distracted, all the toxins will be reversed and rush back!
Some of them even invaded the heart meridians!
The four people were so depressed that they almost vomited blood!
This was really bad luck; the four of them had originally gone to look for trouble with the centipede in the hope of making some money, and that was only because they had enough detoxification pills on them.
We have also made sufficient preparations.
It was an accurate calculation. No matter what, his life would not be in danger.
But who could have thought that the mountain would collapse while he was healing his wounds and forcing out the poison!
